I was a huge fan of the graphic novel in high school, and now have been a little hesitant to see the movie yet. Its stupid, but I kind of hate having something I considered to be a rare gem in the literary world and turned into a massive, pop-culture box-office dynamo.
I remember reading it, and being hit with the major allegories within it, both for the advancement of humankind and specifically within the last century of the United States.
But from hearing comments from idiots like "Weedsack", its obvious that this is simply regarded as another stereotypical superhero movie by its mass audience. "Duhz, where's their powers? If they don't have cool powers, I don't care." Good lord, why is this a movie? I really really love the graphic novel, and if someone like Weedsack is going to pay cash and not "get" this movie, it should just be left as a graphic novel.
If your smart enough to "get" Watchmen, you are probably gonna benefit more from reading it than watching it. It seems most of the praise for this film has been, "Wow the digital effects are awesome".
